Leaving Fushoutang, Shen Yan told Wei Min: "Old lady, I'm afraid it's useless to talk too much." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWe have to make our own decisions about this. ”

"Sister Yan'er," Wei Min said busily, "you have always had a lot of ideas, in your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

"I'd like to ask your brother for a favor." Shen Yan said, "When you go back to Dongyuan, you will write to Brother Jiu Ting and explain all these situations to him." I think he'll help us keep an eye on the whereabouts of the 1,000 taels of silver. ”

Wei Min agreed to come down and immediately went back to Dongyuan.

Shen Yan raised her chin slightly, looked around, and felt that there was a scene of autumn defeat in front of her, which was much less angry than her Imperial Fragrance Garden. She shook her head, and immediately instructed Xiyu: "Go back and tell Steward Feng that he will send someone to plant some more flowers and plants that can bloom in autumn in the flower garden of the Hou Mansion." ”

"Yes." Xiyu said with a smile, "The Hou Mansion in autumn is less angry, and it will be different to plant some flowers and plants like the Imperial Fragrance Garden, and I will tell Steward Feng when I go back." ”

"Hmm." Shen Yan stepped forward before revealing a smile.

She loves flowers, and she hopes that the garden of the Hou Mansion will bloom and be rich all year round. Now, with her in charge of the power of the main mother, this idea can still be realized. She also hopes that the Hou Mansion will get better and better under her care. So, when she encounters difficulties, she will be the first to stand up.

But this time, it was someone who deliberately harmed the Hou Mansion of Ning'an, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy to deal with.

Time passed quickly, and it was early morning five days later, but no one brought Wei Jiuting's letter from the capital, and Shen Yan didn't know what was going on. Of course, she never doubted Wei Jiuting, because she believed. Wei Jiuting will definitely help the Hou Mansion, just like the last time he was in the capital. He helped Li Chengqi to see Master Yuanzhi.

Wei Min was very anxious, "I told my brother in the letter. Let him come back with a letter earlier. Now that five days have passed, why hasn't his letter come yet? Whether there is news or no news, he should write a letter. ”

"I'm afraid something happened." Shen Yan said worriedly.

As soon as she said this, Wei Min became even more anxious.

And on the same day, Gu Yuan broke into the Hou Mansion with a team of officials, claiming that Li Chengmao, the second master of the Hou Mansion, had committed a murder and that he was going to take him away.

As soon as this incident came out, it immediately alarmed the Hou Mansion.

In the flower hall, Jiao asked Gu Yuan: "How can Lord Gu say that my family Chengmao killed someone?" How can my family kill people? "Pinsuri. Although she has a lot of dislikes for Li Chengmao, she will not believe that he will do something to kill people.

"The human and material evidence are all there, and I ask the old lady to hand over the second master." Gu Yuan's voice was full of emotion. He also said: "The Hou Mansion relied on the gold medal in his hand, first included the daughter of the criminal minister in the mansion as a concubine, let her escape the death penalty, and then built a shoddy school, causing the death of six innocent children. Now, the second master uses another 1,000 taels. Bought the butcher Wang Jiahan to kill Yan Ruyu, the Oiran lady of Wanchen Building, there is really no king's law! This official has reported this matter to the imperial court, begging the imperial court to withdraw the gold medal for avoiding death and correct the second master! ”

Yan Ruyu ...... "Yan Ruyu is dead?" Shen Yan's feet were soft. Barely stood still.

"Take back the gold medal for avoiding death?" Jiao Shi was also shocked when she heard this, but her focus was different. Soon she felt amused and said: "How can there be any reason to take back the death-free gold medal given by the emperor?" ”

"It is up to the Holy Lord. Right now. This official will detain the second master and send him to the prison of the Criminal Department on a later date. Gu Yuan said that he was going to send someone to Qinxin Garden to arrest Li Chengmao.

Then. Li Chengmao, who heard the news, rushed over from Qinxinyuan. Before he could enter the flower hall, several officials came forward to arrest him.

"Take it away!" Gu Yuan gave an order.

Lee Seung-mao was very surprised. But also calmly. He glanced at Shen Yan, but he didn't resist going with them.

"Wait!" Shen Yan had just recovered from the huge shock, she shouted, and the two officials who wanted to take Li Chengmao away stopped. She looked at Gu Yuan angrily and argued with her reasoning: "Lord Gu, since the imperial court has not yet decided whether to withdraw the death-free gold medal, the death-free gold medal is still from my Hou Mansion." Lord Gu vainly took the protection of Emperor Gu to my Hou Mansion, and he committed it! Does Master Gu really want to take our second master away? ”

Although Gu Yuan was a little jealous when he heard this, he thought about it and still ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Take! ”

"Steward Zhong, where is the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death?" Shen Yan didn't look at Zhong Ce, but only fixed her gaze on Gu Yuan. She wanted to see how dare he see the gold medal for avoiding death, and he dared to ignore the emperor's gifts.

When Zhong Ce invited the death-free gold medal out, Shen Yan held it in her hand, and when everyone saw it, they didn't dare to kneel on the ground directly, including Gu Yuan, until she put away the death-free gold medal.

"Lord Gu insists on believing that our second master killed someone, please wait for the Holy Lord's ruling." She walked up to Gu Yuan and softened his tone.

"Lord Gu," Jiao Shi also stepped forward and said with a good face, "I'm just afraid that there will be a misunderstanding, please think twice about it, and then check it carefully, we Chengmao will not kill anyone." ”

"Humph!" Gu Yuan said coldly, "The second master's crime of murder is indisputable. The official can't take him away this time, and when the court decrees it, the official will still take him away. After that, he glanced at Shen Yan, and said to her with a fierce look in his eyes, "We'll see."

After Gu Yuan and the others left, Jiao sat on the chair in the high hall, as if he had lost his soul. She really couldn't figure out how Gu Yuan had no grievances with the Hou Mansion, how could he target the Hou Mansion like this. She didn't know where the disaster in the Hou Mansion came from.

In this regard, Shen Yan is well aware.

Gu Yuan is Gu Chongzhi's person, and Gu Chongzhi is afraid that he has long wanted to go to the Hou Mansion to die. At the beginning, Li Chengqi coerced and lured her life from Gu Chongzhi's butcher's knife, and Gu Chongzhi had a grudge against the Hou Mansion.

I am afraid that the disasters in the Hou Mansion are all caused by her.

"The silver ticket of one thousand taels," Wei Min also sat down in despair, glanced at Shen Yan and said, "I'm afraid it has become the evidence of the second master's crime, right?" ”

"Tell me, what's going on?" Jiao glanced at everyone, and his face, which was already full of wrinkles, looked much older now.

"Mother-in-law, don't ......worry," Wei Min comforted, then looked at Shen Yan and asked, "Sister Yan'er, look at this...... How should we deal with it? ”

"Second master," Shen Yan looked at Li Chengmao and asked him, "Do you know who Gu Yuan said you killed?" ”

Li Chengmao was puzzled.

"Yan Ruyu, Miss Yan."

She ...... She's dead? Hearing this, Li Chengmao was greatly surprised.

"Have you ever had an argument with her and been seen?"

Li Chengmao nodded, his expression full of disbelief. He turned around and wanted to go to Wanchen Tower to have a look. Shen Yan stopped him, "Now is not the time to take care of the dead." You come with me to the capital and ask someone to help. Now, only he can help us. ”

"Who? Who can help us? Jiao Shi got up and asked expectantly.

Shen Yan glanced at her and didn't answer. Seeing this, Wei Min stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to go to the capital and ask my brother for help?" ”

Shen Yan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

"General Wei is just the second rank of the Imperial Forest Army, and he has no power or power, what can he do to help?" Jiao Shi said sour words, looking very disappointed.

Wei Min suddenly felt embarrassed. Shen Yan stroked her hand and motioned her not to go to her heart.

"Without further ado, let's go." Li Chengmao knew that the person Shen Yan was looking for was not Wei Jiuting, but Wesley.

Wesley, who served as a squire in the military department in the capital, held a high position, and at this time, he would not see death or save his family. Now in the imperial court, he is probably the only one who can suppress Prime Minister Gu Chongzhi.

went to the capital, dressed lightly, and Shen Yan only asked Xiyu and Ding Quan to accompany them. She sat alone in the carriage, Li Chengmao rode a horse, and the two always kept a certain distance, and there was no word all the way.

Looking at the scenery along the way, what came to Li Chengmao's mind was always the situation when she took her back to Ning'an City from the capital on horseback last year. It was also this time last year, in the cold of late autumn, and she sat right in front of him as he rode his horse...... At that time, she always exuded an arrogant and domineering atmosphere, which made people refuse or get close.

That night, he looked at her fair face so closely under the stars, he liked it so much, but he humbly thought that it would not be her turn. Things really developed like this, and later, even if An Yangping entrusted her to him, it was not his turn to protect her.

He hated Yan Ruyu's lies, but when Yan Ruyu died, he couldn't hate it.

Yan Ruyu...... His thoughts inevitably drifted to the Wanchen Building in Ning'an City, the land of fireworks. Perhaps, the dead will be respected after death, no matter how much they are haunted in life. He didn't hate her anymore, and if he could, he wished he was still alive, to redeem her, to make her his woman.

"Second master." Shen Yan lifted the curtain and interrupted his thoughts with a call. He reined in the reins of his horse and waited for her carriage to arrive.

Shen Yan asked, "Is there a closer road to the capital?" ”

"This is the closest way to the capital." Lee Seung-mao told her.

Shen Yan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then let's speed up our foot strength." I'm just afraid that it's going late, it's too late. ”

Li Chengmao nodded, and then instructed Ding Quan to drive the carriage faster.

So sleepless, they rushed into the capital at the end of the night. They inquired about the residence of Wesley, the squire of the military department.

Wesley, who was about to go to bed, was surprised when he heard that someone had reported that the second master of the Ning'an Hou Mansion and the Daping Lady of the Ning'an Hou were asking to see him outside the door. He quickly put on civilian clothes, and with suspicion, he invited them to the flower hall.

When he came to the flower hall, Shen Yan and Li Chengmao had been waiting in the flower hall for a few moments. When he saw Li Chengmao, he naturally felt kind, but when he saw Shen Yan combing the woman's head, he couldn't help but be curious: how did she, a woman, show up with her second uncle.

Their arrival was too strange for him. When Li Chengmao told him about what happened in Ning'an City and asked him for help, he understood something. What he didn't understand, though, was why they were asking him for help.

"Why should I help you?" He glanced at Shen Yan and his eyes fell on Li Chengmao. (To be continued.) )
